Show notes

DMs Rob and Matt review what might be the best pointcrawl ever designed, Luka Rejec's Ultraviolet Grasslands and the Black City 2e. Forests of meat, underwater VOMEs, psychic cats, and not-quite-liches await your caravan as you transverse the prismatic heavy metal wastes on a definitely Dying Earth. It rules. It rocks.

TEASER - Planecrash: Mad Investor Chaos and the Woman of Asmodeus Sep 03, 2025

Show notes

What if Pathfinder was...rational? What if the ruling House Thrune of Cheliax embraced effective altruism as an economic and social policy? What if you taught the god Nethys game theory? What if hot women wanted to listen to lectures about intelligence-promoting alleles and arbitrage? Tune in for the answers to all these questions and more (and by more we mean this game's harems, torture, rape, and eugenics...so CW!) as DMs Rob and Matt discuss the worst and most influential Pathfinder game/fanfic you will probably never read.

TEASER - Tabletop Newsroom Aug 15, 2025

Show notes

Listen to the full episode here!

DMofNone is back from GenCon and over GenCon sicknesses for another edition of Your Kickstarter Sucks: Tabletop Edition (here are entries one and two). This time, DMs Rob and Matt are talking about Tabletop News, a crowd-funded video news show, that unlike our previous projects, actually delivered what it promised in a timely fashion.

Our discussion gets into the show's weird production, cringe tone, hiring practices, refusal to do "journalism", and strange metrics. Was it awful? Not really. Did they do some shady stuff? Tune in to find out!

364 - GM Advice: Good Descriptions Aug 04, 2025

Show notes

Matt and Rob talk about writing and presenting good descriptions -- what to do, what not to do, with lots of examples! NOT a writing course! No one wants to hear your gratuitous description of horse fetlocks, Robert Jordan!
